Geopolitical tensions have intensified, causing crude oil prices to surge, putting global economic pressure on markets, while gold and silver pull back from highs. Platinum and palladium continue to decline, though the downtrend is slowing. Despite Iran closing the Strait of Hormuz, U.S. support for shipping has eased market panic, limiting short-term crude oil price volatility. It is recommended to wait and observe market developments.

Geopolitical conflicts persist, with crude oil soaring and global economic concerns rising. Gold and silver have pulled back from highs. Today, platinum and palladium continue to weaken, with platinum falling over 5% and palladium over 3%, though the overall downward trend has slowed. Currently, amid US-Iran tensions, Iran claims to have closed the Strait of Hormuz, but Iran’s maritime and air forces have been overwhelmed. Shipping through the Strait of Hormuz is backed by the US, easing market panic slightly. However, major shipping companies remain cautious. In the short term, oil prices remain relatively restrained, with limited impact on the automotive industry and some support for platinum and palladium demand. The recent sharp decline in platinum and palladium may have already priced in short-term losses, but medium- and long-term developments depend on the conflict’s progression. It is recommended to stay cautious. (Chuangchuang Futures)
